Color conceptualization

In this paper, we propose a method to manipulate colors of an image. Based on a library of natural color images, our system evolves several prototypes of color distribution of the library, which we call "color concepts". By applying these color concepts on an input image, a user can easily change the mood of image colors in a global manner. Our results of photographs and paintings indicate that this method is capable of high-quality color manipulations.
